Zopistas: At the risk of slashdotting my machine, I am asking for a bit of help. We will go live with a survey using my QSurvey product in a couple of weeks, and I would like to do a test that is not "for grade." BTW, there is an updated version of QSurvey today at http://www.zope.org/Members/jwashin/Survey So, if you have a minute or two, would you please point your browser to: http://vpave5.ed.vt.edu/www/testsurvey/. I have been reading the latest security stuff, and I promise, no Trojans... E-mail me quickly if you think I should ask additional questions. I will be happy to add a couple and return the statistics if anybody wants. But this is just a test to see how the product might handle additional outside traffic. Note for archives readers: I plan to take this down in a day or so; but if it loads, it is still up. Thanks. -- Jim Washington Center for Assessment, Evaluation and Educational Programming Department of Teaching and Learning, Virginia Tech
I wrote: [a request to help test my survey product] Thanks, all. The comments in particular were most helpful. I'll get someone with color sense to look at it soon. The tree-tag experiment failed, but I think if we go to a one-stage hierarchy rather than two-stage, things should work out OK. Unless, of course, we find a new, magical way to get people to choose among 340 choices. Would you believe in my travels I did not know you could wrap text in a <textarea>? Now I know. Apparently a few individuals got ZopeErrors when cookies were not enabled. I suppose I should let people know first about the cookie requirement. On the upside, it did not crash, it apparently loaded pretty quickly, and there were a couple of instances where multiple users were responding at the same time, without noticeable drag on the machine. Quick and easy statistics for the curious: Browsers: Internet Explorer 4 3 Internet Explorer 5 19 Netscape 4 23 Netscape 6 or Mozilla 3 Other: 5 legibility a (OK) 35 b (Bad) 1 c (pretty good) 19 I note that those that marked "c" were using IE5+. CSS a (go back to tables) 28 b (everyone *should* have a css browser) 26 I'm still working on the code to get the list of what everyone wanted to be when they grew up (it was the custom tree-tag question), so I do not have that now. Thanks again, -- Jim
